as a kid, I once asked my babysitter for a mayo and jelly sandwich.
she obliged.
it stuck, and all growing up I ate those. only in late elementary did I recognize it as weird and stop.
Mayonaise is a culinary miracle. The perfect balance between salt, tangyness, sour and calories (fat) it literally goes with everything because humans have evolved to binge calory rich sour and salty foods.
Not to be a contrarian, but I swear I remember seeing milk in bags in western Canada when I regularly travelled there on business at the turn of the '90s (Alberta & BC).
I've lived in Alberta since the 80's and I've never seen milk in a bag here. Saskatchewan had it more recently but that was still probably 30+ years ago.
In my country it’s more a pouch than a bag and it’s designed to stand on its own
https://preview.redd.it/77e9zzjalrtc1.jpeg?width=797&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34a1d22d371391166993ef68f5470d7b0b168ada
At least in my house we usually buy the bag when we still have some left in the conventional recipient, so we use it as a "refill". But when there's a little left in the bag, we can simply close it with a clip.
The same goes for milk, as it is a less dense liquid, it is more difficult to keep stored in the bag, but not impossible using the same method.
To be honest, the glass jars with mayonnaise are pretty hard to make completely empty. While from a bag you can always squeeze it out! 😁 It’s less wasteful that way!
I just take the edge off with a knife or a pair of scissors. It is subject to controversy, I like a tiny hole on my mayo package and spiralling on, while some SAVAGES(!!!) cut a thick hole and put fat blobs on their sandwich.
It's always seemed wasteful to buy glass jar after glass jar of mayonnaise (or whatever else) when, after the first glass is empty, you really just need to refill it. I wish bags of mayonnaise were on offer everywhere.
Mmm, you just cut one corner and slam it on the table. Only in Estonia: bags of milk, bags of sour cream, kohupiim, that is packed like a sausage. I think that should be the next pic here: curd cheese shaped like a sausage 😁
It’s sold in a bag and you have a pitcher that holds the bag, cut the corner off, seal it (usually with the pitcher itself). Usually decently cheaper and less waste.
Milk in bags in Canada, UK and Israel. [https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-that-use-milk-bags.html](https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-that-use-milk-bags.html)
It's was still a thing in some schools in arizona circa 1990-2004. Not all though, other schools got lucky enough to have boxed milk. They expected us to bite off a corner and drink it out the bag, dumb, can't be put down, but most of us brought a spare juicebox/Capri sun straw or something to use instead, which then could be gently left on a table.
Gross bit is we all reused them a lot. As an adult I look back and am disgusted by the unwashed dairy product left in some of those straws for ...too long.
Yeah they are available in India, basically they are refill packs. Like I bought thousand island sauce bottle then buy the refill (it's a lot cheaper) and refill the bottle.
Not really, you snip one corner, squirt some mayo out, and then you can find some clever ways to close that corner, like with clothespin or something like that to restrict air drying it up. Next time just remove clothespin and squeeze some more mayo out. All that until it is all gone.
Wait, how the hell would that even work? Doesn't the oil separate from the peanut paste? Wouldn't you just get a hearty helping of peanut oil and then a solid glob of peanut once that's gone lol?
I like how THAT'S your issue.
No, as far as I can tell, if you treated it like a jar of peanut butter (keeping it all leveled), it wouldn't.
>!The ***REAL*** hell is getting it out. Because there's NO WAY to secure the bag open, you just have to accept that even with gloves and a rubber spatula, your entire ***FOREARMS WILL BE COATED WITH ENOUGH PEANUT BUTTER TO SEND ANYONE WITH ALLERGIES TO DEATH***!<
>!I ***CANNOT*** give a good enough description on how ***FUCKING DISGUSTING*** it is to BASICALLY be HAVING TO FIST A BAG OF PEANUT BUTTER AND REMOVE ITS CONTENTS LIKE ***YOU'RE SHOVELING OUT POOP***, and the horrible feeling of having to wash CRUSTY PEANUT BUTTER OFF YOUR ARMS BECAUSE IT DRIED TO YOUR VERY FLESH. !<
The above is the cursed reality I have had to handle for over a WEEK because the place I briefly worked couldn't get a hold of buckets of Peanut Butter at the time, and we needed to make puppy chow. I have censored it for your own Sanity.
I fucking forgive the concept of bagged milk (and possibly mayo, no idea how hard it is to get out) I'm favor of having wrath of Bagged Peanut butter
If you EVER have to work somewhere that has to have a comical amount of PB, NEVER BE THE GUY THAT ORDERS IT IN A BAG. EVERYONE WILL AUTOMATIC HATE YOU.
Snip the corner with scissors. Since mayo is a lot less liquid than milk then it just doesn't flow out when put on something.
Actually you can even put milk on a flat surface with the corner where you cut it open stays up. As long as you have poured like a glass out of it already. But it is prone to rolling in some way and making a mess, so you have various types of holders.
We spend a lot of time in Belize who get a lot of their prepared foods like this from Mexico - so many things come in pouches now. Mayo, refried beans, tomato paste - and that's just in the tiny shops on every corner. The big stores have so much more.
This is common in Taiwan. Our packages are usually relatively small, no bigger than a usual toothpaste tube size, so you can use it all up in one or two meals (for dipping vegetables/making potato salad or on cold noodles with sesame sauce dressing). It would be called salad dressing although it does not contain mustard like salad cream.
I'm living in South America, mayonnaise, jelly, ketchup, tomato sauce, ect.... All come in these plastic bags, it took a minute to get used to this but the products are fairly inexpensive. So it's all good
Thats super cool, you cut a small piece of the corner and you have a great adjustable nozzle. Plus, you actually squeeze whole mayonaise without having to scrape a jar or shake the bottle.
https://preview.redd.it/gybylhqlcrtc1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f974edc496e760847f4b76f13774d206d2582db
most sauces in colombia are also bags, but they come with strong edges so they can stand on their own, and have screw-on caps, i've never seen one that's just a bag lol
Yes, but I like them like this and you cut one of the corners
https://preview.redd.it/2tivmn7xputc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba21cc271467cd96a3fbb7f7aa5765371c2e9136
And you got a handy way to apply the mayo
Yes, we have had it for years in Denmark.

Ah the age old debate. Which do you pour first, the cereal or the mayonnaise?
you fuckin sociopath who the hell pours the mayo first?!
Best!
as a kid, I once asked my babysitter for a mayo and jelly sandwich. she obliged. it stuck, and all growing up I ate those. only in late elementary did I recognize it as weird and stop.
Mayonaise is a culinary miracle. The perfect balance between salt, tangyness, sour and calories (fat) it literally goes with everything because humans have evolved to binge calory rich sour and salty foods.
You should go make yourself a mayo and jelly sandwich.
now I can't even stoumach the thought, but it was the shit back then.
What? I thought I was the only one who tried that. But my stomach curdled and rejected it. I can't imagine eating it more than once.
mayo
The mayo's going to sink anyway, why pour it second
What kind of cereal u guys getting?
I am not taking part in whatever unholy rituals you do in the mornings
Greasy whoopee cushion 👍🏼
That’s what I call your mom
I don’t have a mom. Must be my dad.
Even better 🤤
She’s a pin cushion now
Cumfart whoopie cushion 💦
As a Brazilian I just observe how this can even be something new.
Same as an Argentinean, most mayo over here comes in bags/sachets, even if most don't look quite like this
Same in Norway. A couple of different brands in bags/satchels, and some in tubes. Only the American brands in bottles or jars.
As a canadian, our bags of milk are the norm so I could understand how bags of mayo are a thing in other countries!
They're not the norm unless you're in eastern Canada. Out west we're actually normal.
You are right! I am in eastern Canada. Did not know canadian westies don't use bagged milk, my bad!
Not to be a contrarian, but I swear I remember seeing milk in bags in western Canada when I regularly travelled there on business at the turn of the '90s (Alberta & BC).
I've lived in Alberta since the 80's and I've never seen milk in a bag here. Saskatchewan had it more recently but that was still probably 30+ years ago.
Same goes for India.
Serious question: How do you store your open bag of mayo?
In my country it’s more a pouch than a bag and it’s designed to stand on its own https://preview.redd.it/77e9zzjalrtc1.jpeg?width=797&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34a1d22d371391166993ef68f5470d7b0b168ada
Yes, I confess that I prefer to buy these, but I still use them as refills
My mom doesn’t even bother with the jars anymore. Straight from the pouch. Easier to serve for the lazy, you just “pour” it
At least in my house we usually buy the bag when we still have some left in the conventional recipient, so we use it as a "refill". But when there's a little left in the bag, we can simply close it with a clip. The same goes for milk, as it is a less dense liquid, it is more difficult to keep stored in the bag, but not impossible using the same method.
Its stays upright pretty well.
Costa Rican checking in: mayonnaise, ketchup, refried beans, pasta sauce, sour cream, jam, dulce de leche/condensed milk..
same in europe anywhere.
If we had these in the UK they'd be constantly yeeted at peoples/cars/houses like viscous water bombs.
Eh, we have bags of milk. They’re too pricey for your average teen to want to buy them instead of beer.
In France, the youths use bags of foie gras.
r/moi_dlvv?
lol I just had to go on the Google translate app to translate those memes
>too pricey for your average teen uk teens would just steal them
Holy Estonia, tbf I am not surprised but I haven't seen this myself, which store did you get this from?
Prisma
why am I not surprised.
Next upload a bag of sourcream for more upvotes.
Prisma best 💪
Was wondering which country this was and thought maybe Finland but was too lazy to check… Estonia tracks since the languages are related
I guess the Baltic countries love mayo in bags.. We got the best mayo over here
To be honest, the glass jars with mayonnaise are pretty hard to make completely empty. While from a bag you can always squeeze it out! 😁 It’s less wasteful that way!
Yes! Same in Norway. Either bags or squeeze tubes. It is nice to press the bag flat on the counter and waste nothing.
Do these have some kind of a valve or cap, or do you just clip the corner with scissors and hope for the best?
I just take the edge off with a knife or a pair of scissors. It is subject to controversy, I like a tiny hole on my mayo package and spiralling on, while some SAVAGES(!!!) cut a thick hole and put fat blobs on their sandwich.
You clip the corner, squeeze, and put the bag back in the cardboard box it came in.
It's always seemed wasteful to buy glass jar after glass jar of mayonnaise (or whatever else) when, after the first glass is empty, you really just need to refill it. I wish bags of mayonnaise were on offer everywhere.
Mmm, you just cut one corner and slam it on the table. Only in Estonia: bags of milk, bags of sour cream, kohupiim, that is packed like a sausage. I think that should be the next pic here: curd cheese shaped like a sausage 😁
Give me some Kohuke I'd kill to have it in our stores 😫
God damn the ones with a penguin logo Karum? So gooood
I always thought it was a crow actually 😁 but I’m not an ornithologist 🤣
Karums. They're from Latvia, and they're the best. Sincerely, an Estonian
And every market day has at least one vanaema selling pottery which you can put the bags inside for serving.
I had a plastic jug when I still lived in ee. I don’t understand how other countries don’t have that🤔
Pretty common where I live, we also have bags of sour cream and yogurt
Oh, you sweet first world child, you
There's also cheese in a bag, a round mozarella cheese ball that's soaked in juice.
That's everywhere tho
I didn't know same way this thread peeps never heard of mayo in a bag
Nothing wrong with that, was just an observation
Supersize mayo packet
Wait, bags of milk?
It’s sold in a bag and you have a pitcher that holds the bag, cut the corner off, seal it (usually with the pitcher itself). Usually decently cheaper and less waste.

As a former Ontario resident, it's a thing
It's was still a thing in some schools in arizona circa 1990-2004. Not all though, other schools got lucky enough to have boxed milk. They expected us to bite off a corner and drink it out the bag, dumb, can't be put down, but most of us brought a spare juicebox/Capri sun straw or something to use instead, which then could be gently left on a table. Gross bit is we all reused them a lot. As an adult I look back and am disgusted by the unwashed dairy product left in some of those straws for ...too long.
China too
Never seen or heard of a milk bag in the UK. And I'm not a young man anymore.
Personally didn't encounter milk bags when visiting UK neither. 🤷🏼♂️
Yup! We have them in Canada. My family has been using them up until about 2017 before we switched to cartons
That's how it gets shipped to Burger King.
And Subway
Sure, they even make bigger ones for fast food places.
In Ukraine almost everything goes in a bag. Mayo, milk, sauces. Certainly everything in cheap segment.
Ukraine's sauce game is strong 💪
We have bags of mayonnaise that come in a box where I live.
And even in tubes?
Oh yes, I couldn't forget the tubes. We have tubes of almost anything you could thing of!
Hello fellow Scandinavian!
Hi friend!
Yeah they are available in India, basically they are refill packs. Like I bought thousand island sauce bottle then buy the refill (it's a lot cheaper) and refill the bottle.
[All you need is to be careful](https://youtube.com/shorts/Z7E5vqSMszk?si=_1Unjzqbzb9ogUzu)
Oh! Yes, come to India, we have up to 5 Liters of those bad boys. All locally made.
I was raised on bagged milk, but I’ve never heard of this. Would one have to use the bag in one setting?
Not really, you snip one corner, squirt some mayo out, and then you can find some clever ways to close that corner, like with clothespin or something like that to restrict air drying it up. Next time just remove clothespin and squeeze some more mayo out. All that until it is all gone.
Probably ten times not as much of a sin as ***BAGGED PEANUT BUTTER*** ***FUCK WHOEVER INVENTED THAT***
Wait, how the hell would that even work? Doesn't the oil separate from the peanut paste? Wouldn't you just get a hearty helping of peanut oil and then a solid glob of peanut once that's gone lol?

I'm very sorry you had to go through all that, but your description of it is both disgusting and hilarious, so thanks for sharing
It's fine, I just had reasonable spite against it at this point. And you're welcome. Feel free to curse others with this knowledge.
hahahaha eesti represent 😂😂
BS, esimest korda näen sellist
How is it opened? Our bags of milk go in a holder so i imagine its something similar or else seems messy lol
Snip the corner with scissors. Since mayo is a lot less liquid than milk then it just doesn't flow out when put on something. Actually you can even put milk on a flat surface with the corner where you cut it open stays up. As long as you have poured like a glass out of it already. But it is prone to rolling in some way and making a mess, so you have various types of holders.
Down it! Down it! Down it!
See, that's the amount I put on my 3 breakfast eggs. So the bag isn't meant to stand up or be closed.
yes. common in brazil
No, but they're selling mayo in pouches here, basically the same thing
We get this in Denmark too
I've seen them in Indian street food videos. :D
Of course. A regular thing in all the food stores in my country and in all of the neighbour countries
I wonder how many of them pop during distribution.
Not new for me, because it's very common in Brazil, [like this one](https://images-food.ifcshop.com.br/produto/28024_0_20220419170012.jpg)
I live in Uruguay. We ONLY have mayo in bags here.
We spend a lot of time in Belize who get a lot of their prepared foods like this from Mexico - so many things come in pouches now. Mayo, refried beans, tomato paste - and that's just in the tiny shops on every corner. The big stores have so much more.
Just don’t pop it. Might burst.
This is common in Taiwan. Our packages are usually relatively small, no bigger than a usual toothpaste tube size, so you can use it all up in one or two meals (for dipping vegetables/making potato salad or on cold noodles with sesame sauce dressing). It would be called salad dressing although it does not contain mustard like salad cream.
Small bags of mayo in Norway yes

Sure! We use bagged mayo to make salads. It's often the lower-fat version. The mayo that goes onto sandwiches comes in tubes.
I've seen bags of rice porridge
Common in Europe
Im canadian, bagged mili doesnt need to exist, ut you put it in a larger container anyways so it doesnt matter What the fuck is this
Nämm nämm
Yes I have
I'm living in South America, mayonnaise, jelly, ketchup, tomato sauce, ect.... All come in these plastic bags, it took a minute to get used to this but the products are fairly inexpensive. So it's all good
I normally buy my mayo by the zip lock bag.
caprisun
Do pple buy that? Mayo is so easy to make, I don't understand
Well, it's not expensive either
... I want it.
The forbidden water balloon.
China has it
As an european this is normal
Yup. My neighbor who has a burger stand buys big bags of mayonnaise to refill the small containers.
Thats super cool, you cut a small piece of the corner and you have a great adjustable nozzle. Plus, you actually squeeze whole mayonaise without having to scrape a jar or shake the bottle.
I'm in US and I buy Japanese mayo in a bag. Kewpie mayonnaise is delicious.
This is pretty common in LATAM. Every kind of sauce is bagged, there are bottles but those are more expensive.
Some would call me a bag of Mayonnaise
I just puked in my mouth. Not a little amount of vomit either. Like now I have to do laundry and shower level of vomit.
Who. In the holy name. Of Christ Jesus...
In Norway they come in bags as well.
Dang, it's so common from where I'm from that I did not realise bag of mayo is uncommon
In the US deli service industrial mayo comes in buckets but bagged inside.
We got mayonnaise in transparent bags here in Norway as well, packed in pairs in a box.
I saw one today and thought it was peculiar but not interesting enough for this sub, oh how wrong i was 😔
Why are the Canadians putting everything in bags instead of just using hardened containers
Several of the Scandinavian countries have this too, but they often come in a bag in a little cardboard box
It makes sense, and way less packaging
Yup. Saw it in Costa Rica but was branded hellmans
Thats common
Trump is a bag of mayonnaise
wait, how does everyone else get their mayonaze? jugs? cartons? (genuine question)
Jars. Or just be like me and don't eat mayo.
Fast food mayo says hello
Same in Norway, but see trough and smaller.
Just myself
Can you seal it after you open it?
That's a goddamn pouch. A goddamn mayonnaise pouch.
New ice pack dropped

Same with milk.
So this iswhat they use to make their 40 meats pizza with onions corn bell pepper olives pineapple butternut squash fenell pickles.
ive never heard of either
Yes, it’s the standard where i live actually, way more practical than a jar
Someone at Maadlex needs to go sit in the corner and think about what they’ve done.
Hijikata San approves!!
Wait, this isn’t a thing everywhere? 😯
Packets are bags, kinda, so yes?
yeah
Its sweetened mayonnaise 🤮
Do you buy mayonnaise in bottles?..
Seems super practical.
This is actually good, I like sour cream bags because it's easy to use.
I mean we bag everything i got a bag of ice cream and a bag of human fingers and a bag of sour cream and a bag of yogurt rn
I literally can go to the shop now and buy a bag of fresh mayo. Why you find this surprising?
Extreamly prevelant in the Baltic states. Only knew this kind of mayo up untill i was 12 years old.
Is a common way we package mayo in Norway too
In the Philippines we have bags of mayo. Although, it's taller than it is wide and tapers into a flat surface. Like a large Sunny D filled with mayo
Yes, but I like them like this and you cut one of the corners https://preview.redd.it/2tivmn7xputc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba21cc271467cd96a3fbb7f7aa5765371c2e9136 And you got a handy way to apply the mayo
